also known as a symbyotic relationship (where at least on organism in the partnership benefits) it means that the alge gains, say, anchorage, from the fungus, and the fungus gains food or shelter from the alge. they live together as a lichen or moss, and wouldn't survive without oneanother

Why are not all bacteria harmful to us?

Some bacteria have reached a symbiotic relationship with their hosts.Examples include:Komodo dragons - they have bacteria that live in their mouths but do not make them sick - the dragon bites a victim and even if the victim escapes after one bite, in general in about a week the weaker organisms (deer etc) die from septicemia - leaving a corpse for the dragon to find and eat.Humans - our lower intestinal tracts have loads of e. coli bacteria - the stuff that makes us sick if ingested (from unwashed hands and offal.) What does it do? Produces vitamin K2, helps with digestion of some foods and keeps other bacteria from taking over in there.Bacteria also help in breakdown of dead materials (plants and animals) and help recycle the elements beck to the food supply.


What is macconkey agar made out of?

Macconkey agar consists of agar, lactose, peptone, neutral red dye, crystal violet dye & bile salts. Bile salts inhibit growth of Gram positive bacteria & allow growth of Gram negative bacteria only. It differentiates lactose fermentating Gram negative bacteria from non lactose fermentating Gram negative bacteria.


What kind of organism is bacteria?

Archaebacteria and Eubacteria. Previously they had been categorized as one kingdom Monera, but has since been split. The Six Kingdoms: Plants, Animals, Protists, Fungi, Archaebacteria, Eubacteria. Like archaebacteria, eubacteria are complex and single celled. Most bacteria are in the EUBACTERIA kingdom. They are the kinds found everywhere and are the ones people are most familiar with.

What consists of the mutualistic relationship of a fungus or either algae or autotrophic bacteria?

LichensA lichen (LIE kuhn) is a combination of a fungus and an alga that grow together. The alga actually lives inside the protective walls of the fungus. The resulting organism is different from either organism growing alone. The lichen is a result of a mutualistic relationship. But the merging of the two organisms to form a lichen is so complete that scientists give lichens their own scientific names.Shortened answer: Lichen


What consists of mutualistic relationship of a fungus and either algae or autotrophic bacteria?

When a fungus and algae (or autotrophic bacteria) work together, they form a lichen. Lichens are known for their ability to survive harsh environments. In a lichen, strands of fungal mycelium surround, and support the host algae (or bacterium), and secrete a substance that forces the flow of nutrients into the fungus from the autotrophe. This results in a mutual symbiotic relationship, because the fungus doesn't have to get its own food, and the algae (or bacterium) is protected from predators, the elements, and it is provided a place where it normally wouldn't be able to grow (trees, rocks, roofs, hydrothermal springs, and siding).

Which kingdom consists of autotrophic organisms that synthesize food in chloroplasts?

Metaphyta or Plantae kingdom.


Are Actinosphaerium autotrophic or hetero-tropic?

Actinosphaerium are heterotrophic organisms, meaning they obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms. They are filter feeders, using their pseudopodia to capture and engulf their prey, which mainly consists of bacteria and other small organisms.


Does bacteria consists chloroplast?

No bacteria does not have any chloplasts.


Do nitrogen fixation consists of the conversion of N2 to ammonia?

Yes. Nitrogen fixation consists of conversion of N(2) in air to ammonium (NH4) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). It is done by bacteria living in symbiotic relationship with plants.

How does a clown fish get nutrients?

Clownfish obtain nutrients primarily through their diet, which consists of small zooplankton, algae, and various invertebrates. They also have a symbiotic relationship with sea anemones, where the clownfish benefits from the anemone's protection and, in return, may help keep the anemone clean and provide nutrients through its waste. This mutualistic relationship enhances their overall nutrient intake and survival in their coral reef habitat.
